"Today, I'm officially retiring a Pittsburgh Steeler. And as much as I will miss football, my teammates, coaches and everything about the game, I don't want to play it in any other uniform. The black and gold runs deep in me, and I will remain a Steeler for life."--Hines Ward

I don't think the Pats game is going to be that close, no matter who wins. If the Pats beat us it will probably be by atleast 10 points. Their tight end and short passing game is always a pain to deal with.

14-2, that's a pretty tall order. I'd be happy with 12-4 and winning the division.

I can see 4-2 in the division. The team won't sweep the Ravens, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the team fall to the Bengals or Browns in a trap game at the end of the season.

Outside of the division, I see the Pats and Colts as the two biggest threats. Mark those down as two losses to be conservative. On top of that, I see either Kansas City or Houston pulling off a win. So that would bring my hypothesis to 7-3.

When was the last time the Steelers won 14 games in the regular season? Without looking it up my best guess would be it's never happened. The season is a grind and outcomes completely related to injuries, karma and the like. Granted they play a crappy division, but will travel a lot, and will have short weeks because of nationally televised games. Ben is in his prime, and will do well...but 14 wins is pretty lofty.
